Am I the only one who prefers 3D Zelda games?

I believe we're talking about 3D environments, not stereoscopic 3D. In that case, the only two 3D Zelda games on a portable console is Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, both if which are remakes.

In conclusion, those of use wanting a new 3D Zelda game on a handheld console have been denied, up until Breath of the Wild, where we will have the option.

well then what's aLBW

well then what's aLBW

A 2D game with stereoscopic 3D. It's 2D because the game is more concerned with the up, down, left, and right directions, outside of a few tektite jumps. There's no camera control, no ability to look upward, and everything is layered on levels, which can easily be computed as being on the same plane.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, there are some rooms where you move up and down pretty seamlessly. But rooms like that can only be designed a certain way without the ability to see in any other direction.

I like the 3D games typically more than the 2D ones. I'm really excited for Breath of the Wild but it seems to be a departure from the series and it doesn't seem to play the same way as the otehr 3D Zelda games do.
